2.0, 2.5, 3.0
2.0 Sets how the FR2+ behaves during ongoing care of patients not in a
shockable rhythm.
MONITOR — provides continuous background analysis of the non-
shockable rhythm. However, if the ECG changes, the FR2+
automatically leaves monitoring mode and begins rhythm analysis to
determine if a shock is needed. When the ECG display is enabled or
the user puts the device into the advanced mode, the patient’s heart
rate is displayed during background monitoring.
NOTE: CPR may interfere with background heart rhythm monitoring by the
FR2+ in monitoring mode. during CPR, periodically pause for 15 seconds to
reassess the patient and allow the FR2+ to analyze the patient’s heart
rhythm without possible interference from CPR artifact.
TIME SETTING — provides patient care pause intervals of the
selected duration, alternating with rhythm analysis.
NOTE: If a shock series is set to a non-default value and an NSA decision
occurs within a partially complete shock series, the CPR timer setting
overrides the NSA Action.
